Amusing Metaphors.

George Stephenson was once asked by
a scientific lady what ho considered the
most powerful force in nature. "Ob,
said he 10 gallant spirit, 81 will soon
answer that question; it is the eye Of the
woman for the man who loves her; for il
a woman look with affection on young
man, and he should go to the uttermost
ends Of the earth, the recollections Of that
look will bring him back. There is no
other force 10 nature that will do that"
Equally ready with a similitudo was the
negro, who, when giving evidence in a
court, was asked about the honesty OF o
neighbor. II know nothing against him, y
was the reply; "but il was a chicken !
would roost high when he was hanging
around"
A thoughtful writer describes one-eyed
travellers who see great deal Of some par.
ticular class Of objects and are blind to all
others, and adds: "The Irish jsunting cal
in which the passengers sit back to back
is a sort Of type Of what befalls many
tourists in ireland. Each secs q great

Granite.

Granite is taking the place Of marble
very considerably for both monumental
and vault work. Until within few
years the dark Quincy granite, from Quin
cy, Mass, was preferred for buildings and
monuments, but today the light colored
granite is more popular. Beside the dark
and light gray shades there are blue, pink
aud red. One of the lightest colored
varieties is the Clarks Island from the
coast OF Maine. II is very heavy and
close grained, has slight blush cast and
is susceptible Of fine polish, Many Of the
city's fine dwellings are constructed Of this
material, highly polished.
Fine residences on Fifth avenue, New
York, have fronts Of pink granite from
Westerly, RI. A fine white granite, but
very soft, comes from Barre, VI. Several
Of the new buildings on Wall street are
built OF Scotch granite. This is red in
color, fine in texture and very durable.
1t is the only kind imported. A red gran
lte is found in Tennessee, but it is more
yariegated than the Scotch granite. The
material for the New York postollice came
from. Dix Island, Me. The quarries there
are exhausted and abandoned now.
For monuments where all four sides OF
the stones are exposed, only the very best
granite can be used. 1t is very difficult
to get it free from stains, and irregular
crystalization and other imperfections
The quantity Of granite in this country is
inexhaustable. The value Of the quarries
depends largely on its nearness to water
transportation. The weight of the mate
rial makes its handling very expensive.
In estimating on work the cost Of trans
portation is frequently greater than the
cost OF the stone.

Ne Need Of Catching Colds.

Speaking OF colds, have theory tha
no one need ever have one unless ht
chooses: in other words, that il is quite
possible to 80 train the skin, that wonderful
organ which is generally looked upon o.
the paper wrapper to our human bundle,
as to render il non-susceptable to suddei
changes Of temperature or atmosphere
moisture, whence colds come.
Aud this is exactly the season TO com
mence such system OF pellar education
as it has proved effective IN many instances
within my own knowledge. and as Il i
within reach OF every cue TO try, write i
here. The theory is that no skin that has
been exposed freely for half an hour at thf
beginning Of the day, will note snal
changes. or be affected thereby.
A cold is simply nervous shock, re.
ceivei by the nyriads OF minute nerve
terminals that bristle over the surface ol

Colorow once made short speech to his
troops, which was taken down at the time
by q gentlemen who was present and who
was collecting material for a new third
reader for our common schools.
Colorow claimed that il was incorrect,
and tho notes were found afterwards ON
the stenographers body. 1t is about
as tcklish business to report al
Indian speech as it is to poultice a boil on
the person Of the Ameer OF Cabul.
In closing, Colorow said: Warriors,
our sun is set. We are most of us out on
third base, and we have no influence with
the umpire.
Once could stand on the high ground
aud one shout would fill the forests with
warriors. Now the wailing wind catches
up my cry and bears it away like the echo
Of our former greatness, and | bear low

"Whiskey and refinement have filled
our land with sorrow. The white man
crossed the dark waters in his huge canoe
and filled the forests with churches and

"The Indian loves not to make money

use. He loves his wife and his children
aud entrusts them with the responsibility
OF doing all his work. The white man
comes up to us with honeyed words and
says il we will divide our lands with him
he will give us present, and when we
give him county and half he gives us a
red collar button and blue book, in which
he has written in his strange and silent
language, "When this you see, remember
me-" Our warriors are weak and have
the hearts OF women. The care not for
the warpath nor the chase. Most Of them

to clean out the foe. They slept in the
swamps with the rattlesnakes at night and
fought like wolves in The daytime Now
my warriors Will not go on the wafpath
without valise, and some OF them want
to carry their dinner.
Some day, like the fall Of the mighty

Gently been drawn TO new nervous dis
order, said TO be especially prevalent IN
England and America. II is called "the-

three stages-the acute, subacute and

gestions Of the aphalic vessels cerebral
excitement and animation OF the face
These physiological effects, being constant
ly provoked, give rise after while to re.
action marked by mental and bodily de-
preston. The tea drinker becomes i'm.
pressionable and nervous, pale, subject to
cardiac troubles, and seeks relief from
these symptoms in further indulgence in
the fayorite beverage, which for time
restores him TO sense OF well-being.
These symptoms characterize the first two
stages. In chronic cases, theism Ia char
acterized by grave alteration Of the func-
tiops OF the heart, and Of the vase motars,
and by q disturbance Of nutrition. The
